Chereads / MARRIED TO A DEMON LORD / Chapter 28 - Love

Chapter 28 - Love

Davish- Ellie's chambers....

"Why have you been avoiding me huh? I've been trying to reach out to you but you don't want to talk to me. Tell me what I did wrong, and I promise I'll apologize." Amir was pleading while he held Ellie's wrist. Since the day he kissed her, he wasn't able to get her off his mind, and he couldn't understand why she was also avoiding him. He's tried countless times to talk to her but she would sometimes ignore him or just leave whenever he sees her.

"Amir let go now! I don't want to talk to a pervert like you." She said but Amir still didn't let go off her hand.

"I'm warning you now Amir! Let go off my wrist or what happened the last time will repeat itself." She threatened.

"I don't care." Amir said

"You don't care? Even if I frame you of doing something you didn't do, you won't still care?"

"Yes, I won't care because all that matters to me now....is you. Ever since the day I kissed you I wasn't able to take you off my mind and you've always been avoiding me. Ellie, I've never pursued any girl like how I'm chasing after you. I don't know what this feeling is but please, stop avoiding me. I can't bear it anymore, please..." Amir pleaded. He's never begged any girl before, they were always the one jumping at him and sometimes he would just ignore them if he wasn't interested in their advances.

Ellie was shocked with what he just confessed. She thought she was the only one who couldn't get someone off their mind. Actually, ever since she kissed him, everything she's been thinking about was him. She had been trying so hard to get him out of her head but she couldn't, and that was why she had been avoiding him. At least, maybe if she spent less time with him she would be able to slowly forget about him, but everything she's been working so hard for the last few days just came crumbling to pieces just by him staring at her with those eyes. Why did he have to come to her?!! What is wrong with her? Why is she always feeling nervous around him? Why does her heart always skip a beat when she's around him? What is this thing that she's feeling for him? Ellie asked herself.

The both of them stared at each other for a long while until Amir started to move closer. He brushed a strand of her hair and tucked them behind her hair. Ellie had already turned immobile and was just staring at him. It was as if she was hypnotized but she knew she wasn't. She was still conscious of her surroundings which meant that she's willingly allowing him to get close to her. Why? Why is she not pushing him away?! Why can't she tell him to stop?!! 'Amir!! Don't move any closer! Don't touch me!' She said but it didn't pass through her lips.

His face was now close to hers, their noses were inches away from each other. One more step and their noses would collide. His hot breath tingled her skin and Ellie found herself closing her eyes. Why was she acting like she wanted him? She should push him away now!! She thought but it was as if she had turned to a statue.

His lips moved to her ears and his breathe caressed her skin. Her ears had turned red and hot from embarrassment. "Ellie, I don't know what you've done to me. Since the first day I set my eyes on you, I've been having this weird feeling. I don't know if this is what people call 'love'. But I for sure know that my desire for you is growing each passing day and the funny thing is that I can't control myself when I'm around you. This is only happening because you're the only one I want. If love overrides my desires for you, then I'm in love with you Ellie..." He paused and looked at her face, she was shocked but he saw another kind of emotion on her face he couldn't decipher. He closed his eyes and opened them again... "All, everything that I understand, I only understand because I love you. I love you Ellie." He said and placed a light kiss on her forehead. That was the first time he's done that to any girl and he hoped that Ellie would love him too.

"I-I-I don't love you Amir. I'm sorry but I don't love you....I'm sorry." She pleaded.

A mischievous smirk appeared on his face. He expected that to be her answer but he won't give up on her yet. He would make her fall head over heels for him. That's a promise!

"Don't worry Ellie, I'll make you fall head over heels for me, and when that time comes, I'll do everything I've been yearning to do with you, and then I'll get married to you....but please stop avoiding me. I can't bear you avoiding me everytime you see me... please Ellie."

"You think I'll fall for you? Don't be ridiculous Amir."

"It's a promise Ellie. I'll make you fall for me." He said and Ellie chuckled which made Amir smile. He loves the sound of her laughter and he wants to hear more of it.

"But promise me you won't avoid me anymore." He said.

"And if I don't?"

"Then I'll have no choice but to run to you and kiss you everytime you avoid me." He said with all the seriousness he could muster. Ellie saw the serious look on his face and she could tell that he was not bluffing. He would do exactly as he said. She knew how shameless he was and she would never allow him to do that to her!! So she heaved a sigh and glared at him for a short moment.

"Fine...I promise, I won't avoid you anymore." She said and it took all of Amir's self-control not to capture her lips and kiss her right there.
